What the tech industry often forgets is that with age comes wisdom. Older workers are usually better at following direction, mentoring, and leading.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In an ageing society, it makes sense to support older adults to develop new skills, prolonging their working lives.
I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.
With aging comes physical and emotional challenge. We cannot seem to get as much done in an hour as we did in youth. And it is harder to be patient with others, and they seem more demanding.
I understand that there's a certain energy in youth, no question, in terms of pursuing jobs. But there is wisdom in age. It's too bad that the two can't come together because I do think that people are dropped from what they're really good at too soon.
My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.
Our age is before all things a practical one. It demands of us all clear and tangible results of our work.
Ageing means a loss of a number of skills over time.
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
